367: Chapter 367 The Golden Little Man!

The moment this pale gold long spear phantom took shape, it resonated strongly with another pale gold phantom deep within Qin Yan's mind—one that also radiated an arcane aura. That was the one-ten-thousandth of Spear Dao Profundity he had obtained from the Canglin Ancient Peak Spear Technique trial!

Like long-lost fragments from the same source, the two attracted each other and slowly drew closer.

Finally, the two merged together silently!

The newly formed Spear Dao Profundity phantom was slightly more solid than before, and the pale gold light it emitted was a fraction brighter.

The profound Dao Rhyme regarding the essence of the "spear" contained within it also seemed a bit heavier.

"This... is another additional one-ten-thousandth of Spear Dao Profundity?!"

A wave of immense joy surged through Qin Yan's heart.

He never expected that the reward for the thirtieth floor of the Secret Realm Tower would be this.

In addition to the regular sublimation of his Spear Technique inheritance, it actually gifted him such a precious Profound Truth!

Although it was still only a one-ten-thousandth portion, the value of Profound Truth was far beyond that of ordinary cultivation techniques or skills.

It enhanced a martial artist's "upper limit" and "essential comprehension" in that field.

Now, he possessed two-ten-thousandths of Spear Dao Profundity. This meant his natural talent, potential, and speed of comprehension in the Spear Dao would all be significantly improved!

In daily training, his understanding and progress in Spear Technique would inevitably be faster!

"This Five Elements Sect... just how glorious and prosperous was this super power back then?"

Qin Yan couldn't help but feel infinite emotion and awe. "To be able to 'generously' place even a one-ten-thousandth Profound Truth inheritance in the Secret Realm Tower as a reward for successors..."

"The depth of its foundation and the greatness of its spirit are truly unimaginable."

Just as Qin Yan was immersed in the joy of obtaining a second wisp of Spear Dao Profundity, the multicolored light ball that had been floating quietly finally moved.

It slowly drifted in front of Qin Yan, spinning rapidly. Its five-colored brilliance flowed ceaselessly, emitting a friendly and familiar summoning pulse.

At the same time, Qin Yan's forehead grew slightly hot.

At the center of his brow, beneath the skin, two complex and arcane five elements imprints—also composed of five-colored lines—appeared.

As if awakened from a deep sleep, they emerged from his body, emitting a faint but pure five elements light.

These two imprints were exactly what he had obtained when clearing the tenth floor and the twentieth floor earlier!

At this moment, the three five elements imprints born of the same source sensed each other in the void and let out a cheerful hum.

The two imprints on Qin Yan's forehead left his body and quickly approached the third imprint within the multicolored light ball.

The three were like magnets attracting each other. The moment they touched, they merged into one without any hindrance!

Light flared brilliantly!

A brand new five elements imprint, several times more complete, complex, and arcane than any previous one, was born within the five-colored brilliance!

It was more solid, and the five elements runes within it flowed endlessly, as if forming the prototype of a miniature, complete five elements world.

Immediately after, this new and complete five elements imprint turned into a streak of light and, with a "shoo," sank back into Qin Yan's brow and disappeared.

The moment the imprint entered his body!

Qin Yan's entire body jolted!

He clearly felt that the imprint did not stay on the surface or at his brow, but sank directly into the deepest part of his body, creating a mysterious connection with his blood qi, meridians, and even some sort of ethereal source.

An indescribable, hazy realization of the five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—and the ancient Dao Rhyme of their mutual generation and destruction, their endless cycle...

Like a seed, it was quietly planted in his heart.

Though still blurred, it truly existed!

Qin Yan understood that he had finally obtained the inheritance of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Yan immediately called up his panel to check the changes.

[Level: Third Grade Limit]

[Blood Qi: 400 Cal]

[spirit: 12 Hz]

[Body Tempering Technique: Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture (First Layer Perfection)]

[Qi Refining Technique: Five Elements Primordial Scripture (Not Initiated)]

[Spear Technique: fifth stage (49%)]

[Spear Qi: Destructions End Spear Qi (first grade)]

[Alchemical Dao: First-Grade Alchemist (34%)]

[Physique: Indestructible Blood Demon Body (Initial Success)]

[Blood Puppet Creation]

[Origin Divine Ability: Blood Curse, Demonic Utterance Heavenly Edict (Demonic Dao · Blood Curse Advancement · Seal)]

[Skill Points: 73 points]

"Not initiated?"

Looking at those words, Qin Yan silently gave it a "poor review."

The threshold for this cultivation technique was indeed ridiculously high.

Obtaining the complete inheritance imprint only gave him the "qualification" and "blueprint" for cultivation. There was clearly still a significant distance to go before truly initiating, requiring massive resources and arduous cultivation.

"Sigh, the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture' is still more practical; it starts right at the first layer's Perfection boundary."

Qin Yan made a silent comparison and smiled somewhat helplessly.

"However, my Spear Technique proficiency jumping to 49% in one go is quite a significant gain."

Feeling the more harmonious and integrated Spear Dao insights in his mind and seeing the clear numbers on the panel, Qin Yan felt slightly comforted.

He knew that once Spear Technique skills stepped into the watershed of the "fifth stage," they were no longer subdivided into early, middle, high, and peak stages as before.

Future improvements would center entirely on deeper comprehension and control of "Spear Qi," as well as the exploration and construction of Spear Technique "Conception" and even higher-level "Domains."

This was a process of sublimation from "skill" to "intent," and then from "intent" to "momentum" and eventually "domain."

Qin Yan gripped the long spear in his hand, a new fire of challenge igniting in his eyes.

The thirtieth floor was passed and the inheritance obtained, but he could still continue climbing this Secret Realm Tower!

With his mind set, he no longer hesitated and stepped forward.

The space in front of him fluctuated, and the familiar feeling of teleportation struck again.

In a flash of light, the scene changed.

Qin Yan's figure appeared within a white space that was slightly different from before.

He immediately looked ahead, prepared to welcome a new guardian.

However, the sight that met his eyes made him pause slightly.

Opposite him, the familiar "White Figure" composed entirely of pure white energy was gone.

In its place was a golden figure, its entire body pale gold as if forged from some tough metal!

This Golden Little Figure stood quietly. It made no extra movements, yet naturally radiated a cold, sharp aura that seemed capable of cutting through all things.

It was completely different from the standardized "martial artist" temperament of the previous White Figure.

"Is this... a guardian energy body formed to correspond with the cultivation of the 'Tai Bai Sharp Gold Art,' a metal-attribute technique?"

Qin Yan's thoughts raced.

He had just accepted the inheritance of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, and although he hadn't initiated yet, he had a rough understanding of the Five Elements Sect's cultivation system based on the five elements.

Among the five elements, metal governs slaughter, sharpness, and solidity.

The Golden Little Figure before him was undoubtedly the manifestation of a metal-attribute technique cultivated to a certain level.

"Interesting!"

The surprise in Qin Yan's eyes was quickly replaced by a raging battle intent.

The corners of his mouth even curled into an excited arc. "Just as well, I'll take this opportunity to personally experience the combat power of the Five Elements Sect's other single-attribute techniques!"

"Let's see just what is so mysterious about this Sharp Gold Qi that specializes in a single path!"
